TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Ceramic G-Coated - Direct Fit

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of compatible Hyundai and Kia SUVs who want a direct replacement that balances low dust, corrosion resistance, and straightforward installation. The kit pairs a rear ceramic brake pad set with rear premium G-coated rotors, aimed at DIYers who value cleaner wheels and longer-lasting rotors. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is the combination of ceramic pads for reduced dust and G-coated, slotted and drilled rotors for rust protection and improved stopping feel, all designed as direct-fit parts.

Key Features

• Ceramic Brake Pads: Provide lower dust than semi-metallic pads, keeping wheels cleaner and reducing post-service cleanup.
• Premium G-Coated Rotors: Offer electrostatic rust protection that helps maintain appearance and reduces corrosion over time.
• Slotted and Drilled Surface: Designed to improve heat dissipation and help clear gases and debris for more consistent braking under load.
• Pre-assembled Direct Fit: Components are application specific to save time and avoid modifications during installation for a smoother DIY experience.
• Positive Molded Pads: Engineered to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for a more durable, quieter stopping experience.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2019-2022 Hyundai and 2020-2024 Kia models listed as compatible who want a tidy, relatively maintenance-free brake upgrade that emphasizes reduced dust and rotor longevity. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops looking for a direct-fit replacement that minimizes test fitting and machine work.

It is less appropriate for drivers who need high-performance track-oriented pads or those who require exact OEM matching in every minor dimension; a few customers reported mixed fit reports, so verifying fitment against the vehicle compatibility chart before purchase is recommended.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good overall stopping performance with ceramic friction material delivering consistent pedal feel.
• Reduced wheel dust from positive molded ceramic pads keeps wheels cleaner between services.
• G-coated, slotted and drilled rotors resist rust and help with heat management under heavier braking.
• Direct-fit design and pre-assembled components simplify installation and save time for DIY repair.

Cons

• Fitment feedback is mixed for some buyers, so confirming vehicle compatibility is essential before purchase.
• Not intended as a high-friction track pad option for aggressive driving scenarios.
